We performed targeted deep sequencing of all exons of IKZF1 in 140 pediatric cases, eight (5.7%) of which harbored a mutIKZF1. The probabilities of relapse (pRel) and event-free survival (pEFS) did not differ between cases with or without mutIKZF1, whereas pEFS was decreased and pRel increased in \u0394IKZF1-positive case. Coexisting microdeletions, mutations (FLT3, JAK2, SH2B3, and SPRED1), and rearrangements (ABL1, CRLF2, JAK2, and PDGFRB) in 35 \u0394IKZF1 and/or mutIKZF1-positive cases were ascertained using fluorescence in situ hybridization, single nucleotide polymorphism array, Sanger, and targeted deep sequencing analyses. The overall frequencies of copy number alterations did not differ between cases with our without \u0394IKZF1/mutIKZF1. Deletions of HIST1, SH2B3, and the pseudoautosomal region (PAR1), associated with deregulation of CRLF2, were more common in \u0394IKZF1-positive cases, whereas PAR1 deletions and JAK2 mutations were overrepresented in the combined \u0394IKZF1/mutIKZF1 group. There was no significant impact on pRel of the deletions in \u0394IKZF1-positive cases or of JAK2 mutations in cases with \u0394IKZF1/mutIKZF1. In contrast, the pRel was higher (P\u2009=\u20090.005) in \u0394IKZF1/mutIKZF1-positive cases with PAR1 deletions.", "doi": "10.1002/gcc.22245", "pmid": "25727050", "labels": {"National Genomics Infrastructure": null, "NGI Uppsala (SNP&SEQ Technology Platform)": null}, "xrefs": [], "notes": [], "created": "2017-05-02T12:58:14.094Z", "modified": "2020-01-21T13:56:00.576Z"}
